The Amazing Spider-Man The TASM Twilight Sympathy Thread

[SpideyFan866]

Early Tuesday morning, February 7th, I had an epiphany.

When the moment finally came, when the 2nd trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man finally came online I found my self acting a way I never ahd before. I found my self shaking in excitement and actually crying over the epicness of the trailer.

I wasn't the only one. There were many more who shared my high emotions over the trailer.

So as I sat on my computer at 3:30 in the morning reveling over the epicness that is the second trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, I had an epiphany.

I now believe we give Twilight fans or Twihards a little too much flack over there love of that franchise, no matter how stupid it may be (Sorry Gwen t

I mean really, the other night we are geeking out and some of us even crying over a trailer. Not the movie itself. A trailer.

Now yes, we had had been waiting nearly 6 full months for the trailer but still, the similarities between ourselves and Twilight fans in the regard are staggering.

I mean really. Most of us are grown men and women who spend a good portion of the day debating over whether or not the crotch on the costume of a comic book movie superhero is to dark!

I know most will take some serious offense to this but I thought I'd point this out because I think we may have a problem.

Our characters don't sparkle and actually have depths. End.

I was refering as the similarities between us as far as how we feel about our respective characters.

As much as I hate Twilight, I have to agree with this. Twilight fans & CBM fans are very similar.

Oh god.. why do we even mention Twilight in the Spider-Man forum??

Lol granted TASM trailer was great , but grown ass men crying over it is worse than the twilight fans.lol

 

[Gwendolyn Stacy]

As a Twilight fan, I don't understand why people keep comparing it to the reboot. I mean, what does it have in common with TASM, a movie that hasn't even come out yet? But yeah, we are both crazed fans.

You really needed to make a new thread to point out that TASM has people obsessing over it like people obsess over Twilight?

It's like that with everything that has a large fandom. My friends damn near piss their pants everytime their fave football (UK version) wins a game. It's nothing new. It's just popular to poke fun at Twilight at the moment. Some people think it's cancer, etc. I took my girlfriend to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 and I didn't hate it with a burning passion like most people seem to do. It was okay, it was cliched... but my girlfriend enjoyed it and that's what matters.

My girlfriend knows I cream my pants at the slightest official bit of TASM, TDKR, etc news and she's cool with that.

tl;dr:

This thread is pointless. We all obsess over TASM/TDKR/Insert random thing that has a lot of fans here like people (mostly girls) obsess over Twilight.

Not trying to be a *****e but as excited about this movie I didn't freak out and cry over the trailer like Twilight fans do over those movies. But I understand them being excited about a movie they like. However, I don't like or understand Twlight at all. That movie has no redeeming qualities it just tells girls how important it is to have a BF in your life that's it. Spider Man on the other hand as always had a moral theme " With Great Power Comes, Great Respondsiblity". But anyway, us fanboys have our superhero epics and chicks have their twlight, so it is what it is lol.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

Yeah and that's the point...this thread is totally useless. There are tons of different things that people obsess over and go crazy over. My Dad for example drops a load whenever he sees a classic muscle car. Everyone has "their" thing. End.

I didnt cry over the trailer but I was excited. How can you cry over a trailer ?

 

[Immortalfire]

No. Just, no.
